Pro Tips

  • TIFF files are uncompressed here, preserving full quality at the cost of larger file sizes than PNG or JPG
  • The output includes a proper alpha channel via the ExtraSamples tag, so transparency is preserved
  • Browsers can't preview TIFF files directly, so there's no thumbnail - download the file to view it in an image editor
  • The whole file is rendered locally in your browser - nothing is uploaded anywhere

Most Popular

Most users convert at 2x or 3x resolution for print-quality TIFF output

When to Use This Tool

Print Production

Convert PDF pages to TIFF for professional print workflows that require the format's high fidelity and wide compatibility with print software.

Document Scanning Archives

Store PDF pages as TIFF for long-term archival, since TIFF is a long-established, well-documented format for document imaging.

Professional Imaging

Export PDF content as TIFF for use in professional photo editing or publishing software that expects high-quality raster input.

OCR Preprocessing

Convert PDF pages to uncompressed TIFF before running OCR software, since many OCR tools work natively with TIFF input.

How It Works

1

Read the uploaded PDF file as binary data directly in your browser

2

Parse the file into a PDF document using the PDF.js library

3

For each page, render its full content onto an HTML canvas at the selected resolution

4

Read the canvas's raw pixel data and manually encode it into the TIFF file format, building the image file directory (IFD) with the required tags

5

Package the encoded bytes as a downloadable TIFF file for each page

100% Private

Files never leave your device. All processing happens locally in your browser.

Lightning Fast

Powered by PDF.js + custom TIFF encoder for optimal performance on modern browsers.

Secure

No data collection, no tracking, no sign-up required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't I see a preview of the TIFF image?

Web browsers don't natively support displaying TIFF images, unlike PNG, JPG, or BMP. The file is still generated correctly - you'll need to open it in an image editor to view it.

Is the TIFF file compressed?

No, this tool produces uncompressed TIFF files for maximum compatibility and to avoid any lossy compression, though this means larger file sizes than compressed formats.

Does the TIFF preserve transparency?

Yes. The output is RGBA with the standard ExtraSamples tag marking the fourth channel as alpha, so transparent areas from the PDF page are preserved.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. The entire file is read, rendered, and encoded locally in your browser. Your document never leaves your device.

Will this TIFF open in Photoshop or other editors?

Yes. The file follows the baseline TIFF 6.0 specification with standard tags, which is supported by virtually all image editing software.
